As if often the case in science some people who don&#8217;t understand what&#8217;s going on think it&#8217;s a bad idea. The result [...]]]></description>

Hair test to detect breast cancer could be on sale &#8216;within months&#8217;
A revolutionary test that detects the first signs of breast cancer from a few strands of a woman&#8217;s hair could be on sale within months.
Having scanned the references from the website of Fermiscan there doesn&#8217;t appear to be anything wrong [...]]]></description>

A new mammal has been discovered that is like a rather large elephant shrew. Brilliant
Unfortunately the paper doesn&#8217;t appear to be published yet. Shame.
While I&#8217;m here did you know that elephant shrews are more closely related to elephants than other shrews. Blooming marvellous

Despite this inability to understand basic science there is an article in today&#8217;s Observer that is remarkably sensible &#8211; The cranks who swear by citronella oil. The article is a [...]]]></description>

As anyone who has chopped chillis before can testify, capsaican is severe irritant to humans and other mammals and capable of causing severe pain. Interestingly birds seem unaffected by capsaicin and feed on chillis &#8211; this is a nice piece [...]]]></description>
